Miley Cyrus: 'Fly On The Wall'
A couple of unfortunate incidents aside, Miley Cyrus is still being marketed as a clean-cut version of Britney Spears and selling millions in the process. By rights she should be a terrible bore, making wholesome pop music your parents would approve of, but her impressive turn on last year's X Factor and surprisingly fun debut album have caught the eye of even her most hard-nosed critics.

'Fly On The Wall', which finds Cyrus taunting "creepy little, sneaky little" paparazzi, is a prime example of how the teen queen is defying expectations. Cheekier and spunkier than anything Simon Cowell Towers has churned out in recent years, this is a sparkling electropop number with the buzzing atmospherics of Girls Aloud and lyrical bite of Britney's media-baiting 'Piece Of Me'. "You don't understand what it is that makes me tick," Cyrus teases at one point, suggesting that beyond her squeaky-clean facade, there may lie a potentially great popstar.
